Sonderausstellung Wir hören Vinyl – das Schöne an der schwarzen Scheibe 2021

Today, music is always and everywhere available with a tap on the smartphone. But because digitalised playback is invisible, records and their artfully designed covers have survived to this day

Record covers are more than just simple protective sleeves; they give each piece of music an individual face and are a visual mirror of a contemporary era. Like music on vinyl, covers tell of love and life, of fashion and design, of mourning and rebellion. Some were designed by visual artists, others by the musicians themselves. Reduced typographic characters are as much stylistic devices as colourful and lush details. Each cover is different and yet some are strikingly similar.

The exhibition can be experienced acoustically with an AUDIOGUIDE TO GO on your own smartphone and headphones. The topic of vinyl and the passion of swapping and collecting will be explored in the second season of the AUDIOVERSUM podcast, which can be heard now at https://www.audioversum.at/podcast and via all streaming services.
